Getting Started Guide  – The opening video leads teachers through the sections of the class, the use of the virtual tools, the navigation buttons, and provides “new to known” connections between onsite and online learning.

Toolkit  – Provides teachers with graphic organizers, which the instructor can see, to demonstrate their thinking and learning. Instructors provide explicit feedback to guide the learning based on the teachers work in using compare and contrast, mind mapping, synectics, reflections, KWLH, T-charts, etc.

Conference Center  – Provides a meeting place for teachers to share their lesson plans with each other, to provide and receive explicit feedback from their Online Learning Community, to respond to prompts provided by the instructor, to collaborate with each other, and to post assignments (which can include video, powerpoints, word processing documents, student work, etc.)

Learning Log  – provides a place for metacognitive activities and as a place for taking notes on the class as it is in progress. It can be printed, and it can be sent to the instructor.

Video Help  – Provides a place to learn how to do any task that is ever required in any course. If teachers learn best by having someone SHOW AND TELL how to do a task, the Video Help will provide that assistance in 15 seconds or less.

Message Center  – Where all PRIVATE communication, explicit feedback, and messages between the teacher and the instructor occur in the course with EVERY lesson.

Assignments  – Allows teachers to know the LIST of all assignments required of the course, as well as the STATUS (Submitted, not submitted, Resubmitted) of each assignment and FEEDBACK (Accepted, Not Accepted).
